I am trying to find the lyrics to an old hymn that my wife and I remember from the old days. It goes something like: IF I ASK FOR MYSELF AND NOT FOR MY NEIGHBORS. TAKE THIS VAIL FROM MY EYES AND LET ME SEE. CHORUS: NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE DEAR JESUS. ...
If anyone could help, I would very much appreciate it.
less you,

Ray

I posted the words on 27 April 2009. If you can't find it on this site, let me know and I will repost.

Not My Will

1.
If I ask for a thing that I should not ask for
If I pray for a thing selfishly
If I ask for myself and not for my neighbor
Lift this veil from my eyes and let me see.

cho.
"Not my will, thine by done," prayed Jesus.
May this same prayer be mine every day.
When this robe of flesh that I wear makes me falter,
Guide my steps, hold my hand all the way.

2.
If I murmur about the toil of my journey,
If I seek for an easier way,
If I worry because my load gets so heavy,
Make me willing to walk in thy way.

3.
When my pathway is dark and my heart is so weary,
When I feel all alone in this fight,
Come, dear Lord, walk with me along this pilgrim's journey
Be my compass, be my chart, be my guide.

Dear Holyone,

Thank you so much for taking your time to help me. This is exactly what I was looking for.

It is very kind of you.

And thank you Guest for referring to your April 27, 2009 post.

Blessings to you all.
